it doesn't have to be a high end card

just performs better than my RadeonHD 7770, and can do hardware h.265 encoding

750TI ?

tho that encoding

i dont think it qualifies

that is what I was aiming for. 750TI can do hardware HEVC. Any 600 series GTX card and newer can do hardware HEVC. GT 1030 can't

then 750 might be cheapest one to find used

yea, just gotta hunt for a good deal.

or 1gb model https://www.aliexpress.com/item/ZOTAC-Video-Card-GeForce-GTX-750-Ti-1GB-128Bit-GDDR5-1GD5-Graphics-Cards-for-nVIDIA-Original/32862394718.html?

ofc if you want to experiment you could rig that with passive cooler (incase you need it to be quiet too )

don't need it to be quiet.

Also the 750TI works great with linux, so thats good

it's hard to get around the chinkshit on ebay, even chinkshit sellers are saying they are US only.

Then don't try to buy off ebay.com if you're not from the states...

I am from the states.

Then what are you complaining about?

chinkshit sellers selling hacked low end cards, but saying they are from the states.

Ahh

Got you

Well, I'll hold out for a used one. The market is stabilizing. Maybe if I can find a better job, I could afford a 1050 haha

...

Tbh if those price categories are a problem to you, you should honestly consider other priorities than a gpu right now.

I have my affairs in order, just not a lot of disposable income

Generally it's not about cost, it's about how much better it performs compared to my current card. Mine does pretty well, just want that HEVC hardware encoding. Basically don't want to pay a lot for a minimal improvement, just to get HEVC encoding. I don't aim for ultra settings in games

Last time I encoded a blu-ray rip in HEVC, it took 6 hours for a two hour movie

remuxing?

for more sane option here

https://www.reddit.com/r/buildapcsales/search.rss?q=flair%3AGPU+1050&restrict_sr=on&sort=new&t=all.rss

no, I mean taking something I have on BD, ripping and encoding the file in HEVC for use on a PLEX server

RSS EVERYTHING

yeah oh hevc is lighter on the cpu with plex right?

I remember a friend was having problems when he was playing games and his family was streaming with plex

yes. I don't use my server over the internet, so it doesn't have to compressed down so much, but throughout my home, it makes it nicer

but the benefit with HEVC is the 10bit color encoding, and the smaller file size

I have south park episode rips that are less than 100MB, 10 bit HEVC

ah yes, american 10-bit anime

yea, Anime too. don't watch a lot of Anime anymore
